As an artist and musical leader, I am always looking for people who make me better at what I do. Cy Wood does exactly that. In working with my two choruses, Cy instructs, challenges, inspires, and encourages, all at a heart level. If you want authentic, exhilarating, powerful visual and musical performances, then look no further than Mr. Cy Wood. My groups love working with him, and I am a better performer and musician because or our partnership.
— Bill Stauffer, Artistic Director of Voices of Gotham and Capitaland Chorus

"Cy Wood’s magical gifts as a showmanship and presentation coach were on full display during his coaching session with Greater Nassau Chorus. His contagious enthusiasm and his keen eye helped each chorus member to seamlessly blend together performance, character, sound and choreography.  His ability to quickly assess how to maximize those vital “small moments” in a performance package and to articulate them in a pragmatic and meaningful way was amazing.  Cy inspired our group and challenged each of us to bring authenticity and honesty into every movement.  It was a treat to have him and we are all better performers because of it!"

--Harriette Walters, Master Director 700, Greater Nassau Chorus

Cy is a creative genius with a positive teaching approach that will inspire your ensemble….. the total package.
